After 10 Million, Crazy Speculation about the Next Generation of Millet Boxes

Millet boxes have undergone several generations of product launches. Most of them have only changed in terms of hardware configuration, but the appearance of television boxes has not changed much. What about the next generation of millet boxes? Many friends feel that Xiaomi has just launched a 1GB version of the enhanced version of the millet box, and may not continue to introduce new versions. However, I think the reason why Xiaomi launched this castrated enhanced version is because the price advantage of Xiaomi box in the TV box market is still no longer. This is basically no change just reduced the memory and price of the millet box may only be an excessive version.
The brand new millet box may have come out with a brand-new gesture after it has obtained the Youku video source. This new generation of millet box should have some changes in content resources, appearance and hardware configuration. The era of creating a new millet box again is completely different from the previous millet box.


Hardware: The new generation of millet boxes must be more competitive in hardware than today's versions, because currently the enhanced performance of the millet box in the current TV box products is only in the upper level, not to reach the list of small Level. With the launch of the Infik eight-core processor TV box, it is believed that a large number of eight-core or more powerful quad-core processors will soon be available, and a new round of hardware will be launched. in. Moreover, recent video games have also developed and many large-scale games have been transplanted. This will increase the hardware requirements for TV boxes accordingly. After all, relying solely on film and television resources in the future may not be able to draw consumers well. Moreover, policies issued from time to time on radio and television are potential hidden dangers. Therefore, the TV box in the future will have the dual attraction of video and games, and it will be truly developed. The current Infinity eight-core TV box uses an eight-core processor based on the A7 architecture and is not yet the top eight-core processor. Therefore, it is guessed that the next generation of millet boxes may choose between A9 eight-core processors and A15 quad-core processors. The memory will also have different options for 2G and 1G versions. At the same time, in order to meet the needs of the game, memory will also be improved, it is possible to upgrade to 8GB.


In terms of content: At present, the orientation of CNTV for the cooperation of millet boxes is also the main source of content. Now that Xiaomi has invested in Youku, it will be more abundant in the selection of content resources in the future. At the same time, there was another recent news that Xiaomi would again invest $300 million in capital to love iQiyi, so that not only could iQiyi's film and television resources be obtained, but it would also take on the Licensing Co., Ltd. If this investment comes true again, then the next generation of millet boxes will have unparalleled video content. Today, Xiaomi’s layout in the smart living room is very large. Chen’s one billion US dollars now only has a million-dollar investment and a preliminary investment of 300 million US dollars, leaving more than 600 million US dollars in use. It will be unclear what action we will have in the future. However, we believe that we will not have to worry about the video resources of the next generation of millet boxes. Maybe it will be a double license for CNTV and the Central Broad Galaxy, and there will be introduction of Youku Potato and iQIYI's film and television resources.


Appearance: The appearance of the current millet box has not changed for a long time, but it is not very perfect in terms of its usability. Millet mobile phones have changed and improved from generation to generation, but millet boxes have hardly changed. It seems that because it is similar to APPLE TV, it does not require much change. However, due to the existence of aesthetic fatigue, it is in terms of function and appearance. On the design, the next generation of millet boxes need to make some changes. The first is the USB interface, because there is no interface for many users to use it, and at the same time there will be games to join in the future, there will inevitably be gamepad access requirements, and here millet can not require users to have a Bluetooth headset Can play games. Therefore, the application of the USB controller will undoubtedly be a challenge for the Xiaomi box. As for the appearance of the shape, the first choice of materials, the millet box will still be mainly plastic materials, after all, to consider the cost-effective positioning, aluminum alloy shell on the millet box do not have the idea. The styling aspect, because of the hardware performance tips, may be changed from flat mode to cubic mode, which can effectively maximize the space of the cabinet and facilitate the cooling of the hardware. After all, the TV box is an electronic product that needs to be used for a long time. The hardware has strong performance and it will inevitably cause a large amount of heat. If the heat is not good, it will cause extreme instability of the machine.

In fact, regardless of whether the next generation of millet boxes is as I thought, the layout of Xiaomi's living room has gradually begun. The advancement is still very much worth looking forward to. At the same time, the launch of smart living room equipment will not disappoint us.
